The Donald P. Dow Collection of Lincolniana Auction (1/24/2015)

[L Verge]

Thanks for sending us to the Railsplitter link, Gene. Several people had asked me if the Surratt House or Society would be bidding on any of the Dow items. As you can see from the prices realized, it was a tad bit out of our price range.

The political memorabilia shown in this reminded me of an exhibit we had years ago at the museum during one of the presidential campaigns (W's, I believe). One member created the whole exhibit which filled a 12 x 12 room full of locked showcases - and all the material was from the 1830-1870 period. It was splendid and very informative.
